This is a good hearty hybrid between a soup and a chili. It’s great for those cold days that I don’t have a whole lot of time to spend on dinner. To make it you need:

1 bag of split peas

1 bag of lentils

1 bag of brown rice

1 bag of red kidney beans

1 packet of corn bread mix

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

Mix the peas, beans, lentils and rice in a bowl or container that has a lid. This will be enough to make a few batches and stores well in a sealed container. Put two cups of the mixed beans into a crock pot. Pour six cups of water in as well. Cover the pot and let it cook on high for four to six hours, checking it every now and then, adding water as needed. When it is done, turn the heat
